Inner Wealth and Merchants' Lament

Revelation 18:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Revelation 18 in context

Scripture Focus

11And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Revelation 18:11-13

Biblical Context

The verse shows merchants weeping because no one buys their goods, signaling the end of a worldly economy. The long list of treasures marks how wealth and status are tied to the material realm and its judgments.

Neville's Inner Vision

See the scene as a dream within your own mind. The merchants weep not for gold alone but for the belief that provision comes from outside, from the market of appearances. In Neville’s terms, the city of wealth is a projection of your inner state; every commodity on that list is a flavor of an old assumption you have accepted about security and value. When you dwell in I AM—your living awareness—the clamor of wealth reveals its true nature: it is sensation, belief, and memory masquerading as fact. The problem is not the price of goods but the conviction that you are subject to a changing market. To reverse it, assume a state in which you already possess all things as an inward spiritual supply. Feel it real: I am the source of all trade, the merchant, and the riches, even the souls of men, are seen as aspects of consciousness moving through me. As this inner shift anchors, the external world shifts to match your inner abundance.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume the feeling 'I AM the source of all supply' until it floods your body; then picture the inner light expanding and transforming outward commerce.
